Analysis of Downward Spiral
Defeating greatness pleasure
virtue transformed vices
Attackers practiced beliefs
effects incurred prices
Generations deficit hollow
ignorance ignoring responsibility
Discovered available worshiper
sub-human exception mentality
Conditional complete living
inverted irrational reason
Transfused willing weapon
personal sacrifice treason
Actions performing conclusions
grinding miserable mortality
Enslaving ownership preoccupation
failed clamoring reality
Damned injection corruption
recognition regarded praise
Sanctioned standard revulsion
insolent social daze
